The visual novel is an interactive video game, featuring almost exclusively static graphics and often using anime-style art. Video footage may also be featured in a visual novel but it’s very rare. As the name suggests, this genre resembles a mixed-media novel. Most visual novels are developed for video game consoles but the best games of that genre have occasionally been ported to other systems - even to PC. The main thing that distinguishes visual novels from other videogame types is their minimal gameplay. The majority of player interaction is limited to clicking to keep the text and graphics moving. By doing so, players are making narrative choices. Even though the market for visual novels outside of East Asia is quite small, there is a large group of hardcore anime fans in the Western world. Because of that visual novels are deceptively popular. Are you a visual novel fan? On Games Republic you will find only the best titles of that genre!BestsellersWorms is a franchise consisting of video games created by Team17. Worms video games can be described as a mix of artillery and turn-based games. In a typical Worms game, a player controls a small squad of worms and battles other squads (computer- or player-controlled) on a destructible map. During the course of the game, players take time-limited turns controlling one of their worms. Every turn they can use one tool or weapon available to them to attack and kill their opponents' worms, winning the game. Loads of humor, an arsenal of bizarre weapons, and colorful cartoon-style animation are all trademarks of the Worms franchise. The series quickly became popular and was described by the gaming press as a mix of Scorch, Cannon Fodder, and Lemmings. The most popular games in the entire franchise are Worms (1995), Worms 2 (1997), Worms Armageddon (1999), and Worms 3D (2003). Few Worms-themed spin-offs have also been released, including Onlineworms (2001), Worms Blast (2002), and Worms Golf (2004). Nowadays, Worms are published mostly on mobile devices and OS X platform. Funny, engaging and addictive. Worms are one of the best time killers available. Take command over your own team of weapon-crazed worms and fight for domination on a map.Hide
